Rock Bottom Philosophy: an AI dirty blues song about Camus' 'Myth of Sisyphus'.

Camus' 'The Myth of Sisyphus' uses the Greek myth of Sisyphus, condemned to eternally push a boulder uphill only for it to roll back down, as an allegory for the human condition in an absurd world, where humanity seeks meaning but finds only a silent, meaningless universe. Camus argues that instead of suicide (escaping the absurd) or a "leap of faith" (denying the absurd), we should embrace the absurd hero: Sisyphus, who finds meaning and even happiness by consciously rebelling, living passionately, and accepting the futility of his task, finding joy in the struggle itself, not the outcome. Camus defines "the absurd" as the conflict between the human "appetite for meaning" and the "unreasonable silence" of the world. He famously begins by stating that suicide is the only "truly serious philosophical problem". He asks if, once we realize life is meaningless, we must end it. He critiques two "escapes" from the absurd. Ending one's life as a way to resolve the contradiction. And making a "leap of faith" into religion or metaphysical systems to create false meaning. Camus argues that we should embrace the absurd rather than flee from it. He identifies three consequences of this realization. First, 'Revolt', which he sees as a constant confrontation with the meaninglessness of existence. Second, 'Freedom', or the liberation from seeking a "higher purpose," allowing one to act according to their own rules. lastly, 'Passion', or the living life to the fullest with a focus on the quantity of experiences rather than their perceived "quality" or moral value. Camus uses the Greek myth of Sisyphus—condemned by the gods to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity, only for it to roll back down every time—as a metaphor for the human condition. But Camus is most interested in Sisyphus as he walks back down the mountain to retrieve his rock. In this moment, Sisyphus is fully aware of his fate and its futility. By acknowledging his struggle and continuing anyway, Sisyphus becomes "stronger than his rock" and superior to his fate. Camus famously ends with, "One must imagine Sisyphus happy," suggesting that the struggle toward the heights is enough to fill a person's heart.
